Watch a Nick Diaz fight. He has the best boxing for MMA, the best BJJ for MMA, and the best taunts in MMA. Out of his 26 wins, he has 21 finishes (13 (t)ko's and 8 Submissions). He knows how to out strike you and won't stop until the fight is finished.Fact: He fought Joe Riggs after their bout @ UFC 57 in a hospital.
Why Condit wins this?

Kickboxing, BJJ, Durability
Condit is a fighter who I root for in all of his fights. He has 26 stoppages out of his 27 wins (13(t)ko's, 13 submissions), and he's very exciting to watch. I used to say that Condit was the future of the Welterweight division while he was in the WEC. Even though he's not fighting the "Best in the World" it's time for him to show the world that he's ready to be called the best. He's KO'ed guys who have never been ko'ed before (Stun Gun & Hardy) and has the skills to beat anyone (including GSP).
Why Nick loses this fight? Cuts very easily
Nick is known for getting cut. He's had surgery to shave down the scar tissue but that hasn't really been helping him. I can see Condit cutting him open and having the ref stop the fight for them to look @ the cut.
Why Condit loses this fight? Underdog, doesn't like Pressure
Watch Condit's fight with Rory Macdonald. Rory put the pressure on him like no other person has. He took him down @ will, nearly TKO'ed him, and didn't stop coming @ him until the end of the 3rd round. That's when Condit reversed, took mount, and tko'ed Rory Macdonald all the way back to the undercard. Since then he has been the one to pull the trigger first and he has won every time. Thing is that Diaz will come @ him and won't make a mistake.

Diaz by SubmissionThis fight will be nothing but great. Non stop action from beginning till the end with Condit pulling out a round or two before he makes a crucial mistake. Don't be surprised if this goes all 5 rounds. Both of these fighters are one of the best fighters in the world right now and I could see this going either way, but Diaz just has a little bit more of an edge right now to be called the "New (Interim) Welterweight Champion". Then we will have to wait until November to see this.

also bruce leeroy is on the undercard. I laughed so hard when i saw Nate Diaz is also in Terminator 2, but Linda Hamilton was not replaced.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good movie.....and she's good in it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Condit got this fight. He's one of the few good things that came out of WEC. I have to agree with Gerry. They are going to trade blows unless Condit goes straight to the takedown attemps and Nick is going to stuff the takedowns when Condit decides he's not getting inside with the boxing. Frustration is going to get him to take some kind of chance and barring a fight stopping cut or a lot of love from the judges if it stays a trade off boxing match, I don't see him walking away with a W.
It has great fight promise.
1st off, this post is great. pictures, great. content, great.
ReplyDeletei think diaz will win this by throwing 400 punches.
big country will go to his signature ground and pound where he puts the belly right in the guys face and then the ref stops it.
i love all the koscheck synonyms, i had to add a pic about it.
Haha....that synonyms pic is great.
ReplyDeleteI'd love for Koscheck to lose.
Either way....I'm drinking whiskey and getting rowdy. It's been a tough week.
Speaking of evil corporations.......
ReplyDeleteSo you can order UFC in high def on xbox live. I watched the weigh ins and that part streamed great.
So the choice is yours.....give money to fucking comcast or give money to fucking microsoft.
